OH: Resource Guide to Ontario Health’s Social Determinants of Health Framework
Through extensive research and consultations, Ontario Health has developed a Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) Framework that embodies eight key evidence-based principles. Anchored in a population health management approach, the goal of the SDoH Framework is to drive a paradigm shift, supportingOntario Health Teams (OHTs) in their efforts to incorporate social needs into care planning at the individual and population level.
The SDoH Framework is intended to be a practical tool to guide efforts in shifting the population health curve, improving overall health by addressing underlying health inequities and root causes of illness. This requires OHTs to “shift the focus” from asking “what’s the matter with you?” to “what matters to you?” and moving upstream to address the health and social needs of all people in their attributed populations that span across the socioeconomic spectrum.
